Curious Origin OF Dak0ta's Name.

The territory of Dakota, is, in many
respects, the most interesting grand
division of our country's domain. For
a few years it has occupied more atteu-
ton than any other. No state or terri
tory, certainly, has ever risen to such
rapid and surprising Importance.
The origin of its name has been the
subject of some dispute; but the best
Indian authority, dweller for forty
years among the Sioux Indians, makes
the word an abbreviation of Pa.ha-
Sofa, which means ''many heads, or
plenty" The affix "sota'' always means
"plcnty" in the Sioux language. In the
word Minnesota, it means plenty of
water, the appropriateness of which
designation is made manifest when you
consider that the state bearing that
name is only two-thirds land, the re-
naming onc-third being water. What
the many heads were that gave to Da-
kota its title do not pretend to say
from actual knowledge, but l suppose
they were the heads of buffaloes. Moth
ing could be dearer to the Indian than
this game, and here they abounded.
Their Counties trails and wallows are
still to be found on every hand
not to speak of the elk, deer and ante
lope," specimens of which have survived
the buffalos practical extinction in the

The GameY Blue Catfish.

ALI my life have taken great delight
in fishing, and have had the pleasure of
landing many of the game fishes of our
waters. Among those which have fur
nished the most sport is the blue or chan
mel cat. OF all the fish that ever hooked
it makes the hardest fight for its life.
1t differs from bass in that they, when
struck, leap out of the water and rush
through it with their mouths open, thus
making it much easier 10 conquer and
land them; while the catfish takes the
hook in its mouth and starts for the bot
tom of the stream or lake with vim
that will test the tackle of the best ex-
pert. l have had more real sport with
it than with any other fish l ever tackled.
1t is full of fight from the strike to the
landing net, and requires longer to bring
it to hand than any other of its weight.

DENTISTRY.
A Dentist Talks About Teeth
and Their Owners.
A Profession Which Has Undergone Many
Changes in Late Years.

quilting teeth is not easy work, ! as
sure you," said prominent New York
dentist to Mail and Express reporter.
TO pull number of teeth one alter
another requires muscle and considerable
endurance A dentist who pulls many
molars has strong, muscular wrists, and
can make things petty warm for au an
tagonist in a boxing match. When I
began studying for the profession was
weak and slender. My friends told me
l never could do hard dental work. So
went to gymnasium and underwent a
regular athletic course, Tho dentist of
today is not required to pull teeth so
frequently as the men of the old school.
1t used to be the main object of dentist
to destroy bad teeth. The main object
now is to preserve them. Many of our
most prominent dentists decline to pull
teeth. They send their patients to some
place where extraction by laughing gas
is made business. l have not
pulled tooth for several years.
But in my younger days extracting
was the rule aud filling the exception.
My first Office was in Southern
town, before tho war. There were plan
tations for miles around. At certain
seasons of tho year the owner of tho
plantation had dentist come out aud
examine the jaws of NIL the family and
then of the slaves and their families. It
took whole day often to treat one of
these plantations. recollect one plan.
tation that reached before breakfast.
The owner, who was very wealthy, in
vted me to breakfast with him. l
arrived at 5 o'clock and breakfast was
not served until 10. So 1 began my
work at once and before breakfast l cx-
tractcd just 212 teeth. 1t was the hard :
est mornings job ever attempted, and
my appetite was something enormous
when l finally sat down at the table.
Dentistry, like every profession, is
constantly changing and We think is
constantly improving. We have means
by which teeth can be filled and even
nerves killed without the patient feeling
the least bit of pain. A little cocaine
on cotton, inserted in the tooth and ap-
piled on the outside deadens all pain.
The tooth can be filled and drilled with
out the least annoyance or Inconvenience
to the patient. We have ascertaincd
that teeth can be transmitted by physi-
clans. mean that tooth from ono
person can be extracted and fastened in
another persons gums, so that it will
grow fast and be as sound and useful as
native molar. OF course it is not a
process that is particularly enjoyed by
the person securing the tooth. The
previous character and history of the
tooth is so uncertain that the mind is
apt to dwell rather painfully on the sub.
ject. 1t is not a matter of "reminiscences.

Slang In the Restaurant.

Men who write books about slang
might find material in some restaurants.
In Kansas City there is an abundance of
it. Only in one place in st. Louis -on

slang in the giving of the orders, and
curious it is. If you tell the waiter you
want an oyster stew, he shouts out to
